"HTKF 105" consists of a solvent combination (active cleansing and in-depth penetration) and our HIGH TECH additive which is homogeneously mixed with the solvent. In its original condition, the additive would be too viscous to penetrate the critical areas of the chain inner bearings and supply them with lubricant. In addition to its function as a carrier substance, it also serves as a solvent combination for cleaning. It rinses old, resinified substances, dust and dirt and resin residues from and out of the chain. After complete removal of the residual lubricant, chemical adhesion occurs so that protection against corrosion is guaranteed even during long rides in the rain. This prevents wear and resinification of the chain. Anti-seize- and wear and tear agents protect micro-welds,prevent excessive wear and tear between metal surfaces ans reduce abrasion under high stresses, for example when riding in mountainous terrain.

Lubrication

External influences, such as dirt and a dusty environment, cause dust particles to stick and abhere. The resulting abrasive effect causes a high level of wear and tear. Wet or damp conditions also lead to a corrosion of the inner bearings and drive bushings of the chain, which are thus exponsed to increased friction. Resin residues from mineral oils and corrosion particles due ti higher temperatures caused by increased friction have an extremely negative effect on lubrication. A conventional lubrication with oil and grease does not meet the above requirements. Their use leads to an increased energy expenditure of the biker, a very high wear and tear and a low service life of the chain and sprockets and thus functional reliability cannot be guaranteed in the long run. The combination of the right product, which meets all requirements, an the right care and correct application is the essential factor for ensuring a long and problem-free service life of the chain.
If foreign particles or resinified oil are not removed this will automatically lead to higher friction and thus more wear. In addition, these particles will result in the chain becoming stiff or moving not so smoothly anymore. This, however, is enormously important for changing gears smoothly.
In order to deal with the difficult and varied conditions of cycling-racing and mountain biking - one of the most imporant an demanding tasks is to optimally maintain and lubricate the chain in order to achieve positive results such as easy gear change and pedalling and a long service life of the chain.First of all, a clean chain is the key prerequisite for ensuring that the lubricant adheres to the chain surface -in order to achieve an optimal wetting of the chain. Secondly, due to the precise fits between the moving parts, an extremely penetrating lubricant is required which reaches all the chain joints, inner bearings, drive bushings and pins in order to lubricate and protect them optimally.

Cleaning

Of course, the most important thing is lubrication! When lubricating, you have to take care that there are no foreign particles on the chain, abrasive residues, old ans resinified oil or even environmental contaminants (dust, gravel, fine sand). Therefore, a good and reliable cleaning of the chain is crucial before lubricating!
Unfortunately, it is not enough to wipe the chain with a cloth before lubricating it, because the friction mainly occurs inside the chain and this is where the dirt is deposited. Not only the chain has to be clean, but also all parts connected with the chain (e. g. sprocket cassettes, pulleys)! This is exactly where the dirt, which was not removed, builds up. Some use special cleaners, a chain cleaning device or even remove the chain / sprockets and put them for example in Diesel. Of course, all of these types of cleaning have their advantages and disadvantages. Our philosophy: cleaning and lubricating in one single step!

106 KETTENFLUID PLUS consists of a solvent combination (active cleansing an in-depth penetration) and our additive, which is homogeneously mixed with the solvent. In its original condition, the additive would be too viscous to penetrate the critical areas of the chain bearings and supply them with lubricant. In addition to its function as a carrier substance, it also serves as a solvent combination for cleaning. It rinses old, resinified substances, dust and dirt and out of the chain. The solvent evaporates leaving behind a thin lubricating film on and in the chain (this is where it belongs).
The extra benefit is the additional lubrication.

Benefits of the innobike brush:
  • Supports the cleaning of chain and sprocket
  • Better targeted spraying
  • Less consumption
  • No spray mist

Due to the solvent in 106 KETTENFLUID PLUS, the brush does not stick or clog and thus always remains clean.

Advantages of the product:
  • No extra cleaner needed
  • ENORMOUS TIME SAVING by cleaning and lubricating in one step
  • With every relubrication, the chain cleans itself automatically
  • Easy cleaning of chain / sprocket/ gear
  • Absorbs significantly less dust and dirt
  • (Long-term) cost savings due to less wear and tear
  • No resinification
  • Solvent does not harm rubber and lacquer

Conclusion:
It is difficult to compare 106 KETTENFLUID PLUS with other chain oils, because most users focus on lubrication only. The chain, however, is rarely really clean. In addition, when biking outdoors (whether on or off road), dust and dirt will always stick to the chain. In combination with oil, this will become a "chain killer". We have a different method of lubricating and follow the principle: CLEAN AND LUBRICATE in one step! This increases the consumption rate, but always provides reliable cleaning. This should be taken into account when comparing cost and performance.
